I probably ranked Above the Law entirely too high in hindsight.

As much as I love Bloodsport, Die Hard is gonna be tough to beat.

Was there a "what movies to include" thread? Or seeding round? Wtf?

Umm, yeah. Above the Law ranked ahead of Terminator? I don't think even Steven Seagal's parents would do that.

Not to mention Last Boy Scout. That was a serious turd.

Road House is the best action movie of all time. End of poll and discussion.

Why did you seed all of arnold's movies against each other? Commando beats the hell out of half of these movies but how can you vote for it against Terminator?
This is BS... there needs to be a preliminary round where the seeding gets decided by the voters.

i never saw krull as a kid, only bits and pieces, but i really liked the idea of it. i caught the end of krull recently on tv, and it honestly looked like one of the worst movies ever made. stuff like the neverending story holds up to adult viewings.

I'll second that... ironically, with Shawshank being high on the "best adaptation" list.

Only once you truly realize how bad Krull (or any other 80's fantasy flick) really is, can you really start to appreciate the full awesomeness of it.
